New Zealand Report: Justin Bieber Gives Endorsement For Current Flag

New Zealand Report: Selwyn Manning delivers his New Zealand Report to Australia’s radio FiveAA.com.au breakfast team. This week: Justin Bieber Gives Endorsement For Current Flag – Recorded live on 2/10/15.

U.S. performer Justin Bieber is in Auckland and during a radio interview urged Kiwis not to change our flag.

In November New Zealanders get to vote in a referendum on whether the old southern cross and Union Jack flag should be ditched and replaced with one of five new designs.

After checking out the options, Bieber said: “Are you guys not confident in your flag? It looks fine to me.”

And in a gesture perhaps to reinforce his sincerity, and before heading off to go bungy jumping and skydiving, a fairly friendly Justin Bieber handed over a signed pair of underpants.

Apparently the Calvin Klein briefs will be given away via the radio station’s Facebook page today.
